Yes ran 5k at last

I have been following the stepping stone consolidation runs for the past 3 weeks and this week I was determined to achieve 5k so I followed my plan of a 30 min run and a 35 min run on Monday & Wednesday. Today I ran 5k in 41 minutes and 27seconds -all to play for next week to get closer to 40minutes. I know what 5k looks and feels like now. 12 weeks ago I couldn’t run a minute. I’m going to keep with my plan to Christmas and then start to build the distance with Ju Ju’s plan in the New Year. What an exhilarating feeling this morning🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️
